    Ours is a living God who can only be known through relationship.

    This morning I’ld like to focus on three words from John 15 – the words of Jesus, “Abide with me”. In John 15, Jesus talks about three vital RELATIONSHIPS. Our, • RELATIONSHIP to Christ (Jn 15:1-17) • RELATIONSHIP to other believers (Jn 15: 12-18) • RELATIONSHIP to the world (Jn 15:19-27) If I ...read more

    We are not told who that “someone” was who asked Jesus the question “Lord will those who are saved be few?” but in answering the question Jesus actually tells us how to get there. He tells us that only few will get in while many will stand outside the door and keep ...read more

    The Answer To Worry

    Contributed by Rick Pendleton on Jan 28, 2013
     | 6,457 views

    The scripture says Do not worry... but that sounds easier said than done. The scripture also tells us how to avoid worry.

    The Answer to Worry Philippians 4:4-7 As we approach Christmas, it occurs to me that a message on worry, stress and anxiety might be in order. People are more susceptible to stress during this season than any other. Primarily, this is because we become so much busier this time of year. We have ...read more

    A sermon about reaching out to others in the name of Christ.

    Luke 16:19-31 “For the Sake of Christ” We have all seen him. He lies on a pile of newspapers outside a shop doorway, covered with a rough blanket. Perhaps he has a dog with him for safety. People walk past him or even step over him. Maybe he occasionally rattles a few coins ...read more

    You can’t crowd the Holy Ghost into a tiny little corner in your life and expect that you’re gonna get all the things that God has in store for you.

    We look at the fifth test that proves if one really knows God. Are we guarding against antichrists?

    As we look at the seven tests that prove if we really know God we can get a little lost as I try to explain them. Kind of like the time when the husband stayed home while his wife went to church. When she got back he asked her what the preacher preached about. She said, “I don’t ...read more

    Moses - God's Fellow Worker Series

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Mar 11, 2012
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,405 views

    Moses was a worker for God. Hebrews 11 shows how he gave up pleasures and the palaces of Egypt for the pain and pressure of leadership. He was looking for a reward. Can we do that in Christ?

    Last week we started a study on what the Bible says about work. We noticed that the very first two chapters of the Bible introduces God as a worker. God worked six days creating everything, then God rested on the seventh day setting up a divine pattern for a work week for us. When God made man ...read more
